Emirates has announced orders for 8 additional Airbus A350-900 aircraft, powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB84 engines, at the Dubai Airshow 2025.
Worth $ 3.4 billion at
list prices, this top-up order will boost the airline’s A350-900 fleet to a
total of 73 units when all deliveries are completed. To date, Emirates has
received delivery of 13 A350 aircraft.
Emirates’ additional
A350-900s ordered today are expected to be delivered during 2031.
Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed
Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group said: “The
Emirates A350’s entry into service last November has given us welcome
additional capacity. It has also enabled us to introduce Emirates’ latest
inflight products to more customers, including our popular Premium Economy
seats. We look forward working closely with Airbus on the delivery of our
remaining aircraft including the new units that we have ordered today.
He added: “Together with the additional Boeing 777-9 order announced earlier this
week, Emirates now has a total of 375 units of the latest wide-body aircraft on
its orderbook. This is a massive investment in our future, the future of flying
better for our customers, as well as the future of aviation in terms of job and
value creation.”
Benoît de
Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business, said: “We
are pleased to see our long-standing partner Emirates renewing its commitment
to the Airbus A350, which continues to set the benchmark for long-haul travel.
We look forward to supporting Emirates as it expands its operations with one of
the world's most modern widebody aircraft in the market.”
"Today’s
announcement is testament to the confidence in the Trent XWB-84, exclusively
powering the Airbus A350-900. The Trent XWB-84 has been setting the industry
benchmark for large aero-engines for ten years, demonstrating outstanding
durability and low fuel consumption, making it the ideal platform to support
Emirates and its expansion. We extend our gratitude to Emirates for their
continued trust in Rolls-Royce and are proud to continue our long-standing
relationship," said Omar Ali Adib, Senior Vice President, Customer -
Middle East, Africa and Central Asia, Rolls-Royce.
Emirates’ A350
orderbook is supporting tens of thousands of skilled, high‑wage manufacturing
jobs across European supply chains, extending well beyond France, Germany, the
UK and Spain to numerous other partner countries. -TradeArabia News Service
